In the Fast Food sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Special Effects delivers measurable results that transform how fast food professionals communicate with their audience.
Fast food video production operates at a tempo that mirrors the business itself: high volume, fast turnaround, and relentless creative refresh. National chains produce 50-100 video ads per year across multiple campaign waves, while independent fast food operators need punchy social content that competes with those big budgets on a fraction of the spend. The dominant format is the 6-15 second vertical ad optimized for skippable placements — the product must appear within the first 2 seconds. Food styling for fast food is its own discipline: burgers are assembled with tweezers, cheese is melted with heat guns at precise angles, and beverages are shot with fake ice that does not melt under studio lights. The target audience skews 16-34, heavily mobile, and responds to humor, speed, and deal-driven messaging. Per-campaign budgets for independents sit at 1,000-4,000 euros, while franchised locations may access co-op marketing funds of 2-5% of gross revenue for video production.
Restaurants with video on Google My Business receive 35% more reservations. Food content is inherently visual, yet capturing dishes at their most appetizing requires specialized food styling, lighting, and timing — most dishes have a "beauty window" of just 5-10 minutes.
Modern diners check video reviews and social content before choosing where to eat. 87% of consumers say video influences their restaurant choice. The challenge is creating content that conveys taste, texture, and atmosphere through a screen.
A Michelin-starred restaurant produced a 6-episode chef's table series showing the preparation of signature dishes. The series generated 800K views, led to a 3-month waiting list, and earned press coverage in national food magazines.
Professional food video drives measurable business results: menu videos increase average ticket by 15-22%, chef portrait videos build trust and personal connection, and social media food content generates organic reach 3x higher than any other content type in hospitality.

Special effects cover the broad category of visual enhancements that alter reality in your footage — explosions, fire, rain, snow, smoke, electrical arcs, and environmental destruction. We use a combination of stock element compositing, Houdini simulations, and After Effects particle systems depending on the scale and budget. Each effect is color-matched, shadow-integrated, and motion-tracked to your plate. This service differs from compositing (which is assembly) in that we generate the effects themselves. A single VFX shot takes 2-5 days; we recommend sending us a shot list early so we can plan the pipeline and batch similar effects together.
You receive: final composited shots in ProRes 4444/EXR, VFX breakdown reel, individual element passes (beauty, diffuse, specular, alpha), and project files.
Software: Nuke, After Effects, Houdini, Maya, Cinema 4D | Tracking: PFTrack, SynthEyes | Render: Arnold, V-Ray, Octane | Output: EXR 16/32-bit, ProRes 4444, DPX
